I stopped playing bass seriously about 8 - 9 years ago. Small child and renovating an old house while working full time with a 45 minute commute.
I only picked upy bass from time to time to play a song or riff or two. During the last year or two I often thought “I should do this again”, but never followed through.
A few weeks ago a colleague of mine said his band is looking for a bass player and would I be interested. I told them that I was more than rusty, but if they’d give me a chance I would listen to their stuff and learn a few songs. In an hour I leave for the first meeting and rehearsal. This was the push I needed, I don’t know if I would have started again on my own.
As for the hiking, a “outdoors youtuber” I like was just talking about this, people not going outside anymore. He said to put a date in your phone calendar and then actually go on this date - for him this works because it gives him this little nudge.
Hang in there, hopefully the dancing is just the start.
